Hanskin Collagen Peptide Eye Cream

Judging from the ingredient list, "Hanskin - Collagen Peptide Eye Cream" works well for improving skin hydration As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, panthenol, arginine and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Ceramide np, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, cocos nucifera fruit extract and hydrolyzed collagen in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

• We particularly like that there is a good concentration of niacinamide (niacinamide 4.00% - 4.90%) in this moisturizer. Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is a great ingredient to have in a moisturizer. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and help improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
• Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide np 0.45% - 0.70%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
• This moistruizer also contains peptides (sh-polypeptide-22 0.35% - 0.60%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.35% - 0.60%, sh-pentapeptide-19 0.35% - 0.60%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.35% - 0.60%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.35% - 0.60%, sh-octapeptide-4 0.50% - 0.70%, sh-decapeptide-7 0.50% - 0.70%, pentapeptide-18 0.35% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.35% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.45% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.45% - 0.65%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.35% - 0.60%, oligopeptide-32 0.35% - 0.60%, octapeptide-7 0.35% - 0.65%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.35% - 0.60%, copper tripeptide-1 0.35% - 0.65%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.35% - 0.60% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.35% - 0.65%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of peptides is, but it is very likely that peptides in skincare are helpful. They might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
• Adenosine 0.75% - 1.10% in this product adds an anti-aging property to it. Adenosine is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of adenosine in a low concentration reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where we our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
